DRI-DUCK
The DRI-Pack Jacketwas recently tested in the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah. This well designed all season packable jacket, is very functional as well as comfortable. It can be worn as an outer shell, in either the mountains or in an urban environment. Our Field Pro's wore this jacket cross country skiing, running, alpine skiing and snowshoeing. Weather conditions varied from 25o to 40o, and depending on the activity level and base layers, the DRI-Pack was always comfortable. The DRI-Pack also proved to be bullet proof in keeping out rain, sleet and snow and remained resilient while exposed to icy wind gusts of 30-40 miles per hour. All of which were experienced. The fact that the DRI-Pack can be easily stuffed into a backpack and is water and wind resistant makes it easy to give it a Top Rated endorsement.

Four Product Highlights as measured from the field:

• Water resistant and wind resistant: A perfect shell.
• Packable in its own pocket: Easy to take with you.
• Design of the hood: It protected your lid but didn't block vision and was a snug fit.
• Velcro cuffs: Good cut for quick cinching.
• Chest Pocket: Well designed.

Diablo Paddle Sports have designed and manufactured a product line of watercraft that not only floats but maneuvers well in shallow water while carrying a lot of weight on top. For waterfowl hunters, they have the Adios Duck Blind. This is a 12.5' long and 36” wide boat that has all the capabilities of a sit-on-top kayak but still allows the hunter the stability to stand up. It only weighs 69 pounds but has a weight capacity of 400 pounds!
